"William, younger of Lesmoir, who predeceased his father. He was M.A., Marischal College, 1700. He married Mary, daughter of Alexander Duff of Drummuir, Provost of Inverness, and a member of the first British Parliament, by his wife, Katherine Duff, heiress of Adam Duff of Drummuir. The Provost died in 1726, his wife in 1758. Their eldest son got the estate of Drummuir and died in 1736. Their third son, William, purchased the estate of Muirtown, near Inverness ; one of their daughters, Anne, married Lachlan Mackintosh of Mackintosh, the other, Mary, married William Gordon, apparent of Lesmoir. There is now at Muirtown House a portrait, on the back of which is painted the name of 'Sir William Gordoun of Lesmoir,' beyond doubt the husband of this Mary Duff. Whether he formally availed himself of his right to claim knighthood on attaining majority is not clear."
